PREFACE 



Many of the Fraternal Societies of today, some of 
which are old in organization, are young and struggling 
in co-operative team work. Thoroughly organized 
Drill Teams are the spirit of today and the time is now 
ripe for your Society to organize and put into active 
service a team. 

By far the greatest single difficulty in the way of 
successful drill work is originating or securing floor 
movements for team purposes that are properly 
adapted to the requirements. 

It is the mission of this manual to overcome this 
difficulty. Through its introduction, every organiza- 
tion of whatever character, may now possess a drill 
team, fully equipped with floor movements, arranged 
for few men or many, ranging from the plain, simple 
movements of entering and retiring in a team of few 
men, to the elaborate work of a staff comprising a full 
set of officers. 

My experience in team work has proven that noth- 
ing is so essential to the success and upbuilding of any 
organization as a well costumed and well drilled team. 
Nothing incites the interest and arouses the enthus- 
iasm of a backward member as much as becoming a 
part of a successful drill team. In fraternalism this 
is a competitive age, and the organization that will 
furnish the opportunity for work on the part of those 
not qualified to assume an official position in the Order, 
but will enlist their services in the drill squad, is bound 
to succeed. 

Nothing so much awakens the interest of the mem- 
bership as witnessing nice floor work being conducted 
by their own staff. 

Start hustling my Brother, and with the aid of 
this manual, you can organize and put into service a 
team which will prove a credit to your Order and an 
honor to yourself. I wish you success. 

W. F. SPICER. 
Dayton, 0., 1921. 



Publisher's Note 



Mr. W. F. Spicer as author of this manual is not a 
theorist, but a student and an actual worker in Drill 
Team work in the fraternal world. Mr. Spicer as 
master spent a number of years as the active head of 
one of the best organized, drilled and equipped degree 
teams ever assembled in the State of Ohio and perhaps 
never excelled in the whole United States. 

Every floor movement shown in this manual was 
originated and perfected by Mr. Spicer, who has been 
particularly thoughtful of the opportunities of the 
small organization with few men, as well as those of 
larger membership. 

Throughout the manual can be found helps and 
suggestions very carefully planned and thoroughly laid 
out so that any degree master can easily trace them 
through. 

This acknowledgment is justly due to him, that, as 
an active worker in this particular field of endeavor — 
the origination and perfection of floor movements and 
the execution of them by his own drill team — Mr. Spicer 
has accomplished and handed down the greatest work 
ever produced for secret society organizations. 

We are particularly pleased to recommend this work 
to the fraternal bodies of America. 



Designation of Officers' Stations 



Station 1 — Presiding Officer. 

Station 2 — Vice Officer. 

Station 3 — Chaplain, or like Officer. 

Station 4 — Past, or like Officer. 

Station 5 — Inside Guard, or like Officer. 

Station 6 — Sergeant-at-arms, or like Officer. 

If other Officers are used, they can be placed in the 
space with the Officers they are associated with in the 
movements for the seating of Officers. 

DESIGNATION OF CHARACTERS 

The following figures indicate the different charac- 
ters represented in the movements shown in this man- 
ual. As far as color is concerned, you may use any 
color with any figure illustrated here. 

To facilitate the instructions about to follow, I 
will apply the term Guard to the men of all divisions, 
realizing that some organizations term them as Patrol, 
Zouaves, etc.

I Color Bearers 



The number of the guard is indicated by the 
numeral inside of the figure or character representing 
such guard. Thus ^ ^ [4] 



♦ 



The Captain of Guards is denoted by the letter C 
inside of the figure representing him. Thus 

©AS 

The Officers are indicated by the initials and num- 
bers of their stations being placed in the side angles 
of their character. Thus $Q 

The Color bearers are indicated, thus | . They 
can be used in the combined movements if so desired. 
While they are shown, yet the Captain of one of the 
divisions, or two if necessary, can take the place in- 
stead of a regular color bearer. 

One color is recommended in all single division 
movements, so that later, if desired, another set of 
Guards may be added which may be of a different 
color. 

This method of illustrating movements is original 
and greatly facilitates the task of studying them out. 
It enables the Captain to place his men quickly. He 
should thoroughly memorize all positions and move- 
ments so that there may be no drag in the practice drill. 



General Information 



To the Director of Ceremonies, or Drill Captain. 

Much tact will be required on your part to keep 
the members of the team keenly interested. Keep 
constant watch over yourself. Many things will annoy 
and irritate, and you must indeed be watchful if you 
avoid the display of too much irritability. Don't un- 
der rate the necessity of schooling yourself in this. 

Do not forget that your men are volunteers, and 
that you are in the position of Captain at the suffer- 
ance of the members of your Order, and are as freely 
subject to removal by them as the members of the 
team are by you. It is as necessary for you to make 
good as for them. You accomplish your part by de- 
veloping a team that does good work and does it 
harmoniously and loyally. 

Not having the authority of a military commander, 
you must make loyalty to you and the work a pleasure 
to your men. A number of points are here enumerated 
that are vitally necessary to success in this, and you 
will greatly handicap yourself if you fail to heed them. 



Handling the Team 



The chief features may be summed up into these. 
Be frank, honest and firm with your men, and prompt 
and vigorous in your work. 

You should have full charge of the team. Select 
your own men and assign them as you think best. Do 
this without fear or favor. What is for the best in- 
terest of the whole will meet with the approval of the 






whole. This doctrine will prove a firm support to you 
when you find it necessary to take a stand against an 
individual or a faction. 

Give careful and frank consideration to all sug- 
gestions made by your men, even if you are forced to 
be brief in passing upon them. If the suggestion is 
good, adopt it and give him proper credit; if not, give 
your reason for turning it down. Have no fear that 
adopting their suggestions will weaken your standing 
with the team. Instead it will convince them of your 
fairness toward them. 

While doing this, be careful to avoid discussions 
that only cause confusion. Deal with your men, their 
views and their attitudes, frankly, kindly and justly, 
but with decision and firmness. This is a very im- 
portant matter. If you find you have been wrong, 
freely admit it. It will never lessen your control over 
them. 

REHEARSALS 

Conduct your rehearsals in a vigorous, snappy 
manner. Don't let them drag. Have all details 
thought out and movements memorized beforehand. 
Questions arising that cause delay should be put over 
until the next rehearsal or settled in the meantime, 
when possible. 

Assign an exact time to commence and close a 
rehearsal. Then, if possible, commence and close on 
the minute. Closing on time is nearly as essential as 
commencing. When the minute arrives, if there are 
enough present to do any work at all, start. Don't 
wait for more arrivals. If there are not enough, wait 
five minutes and if not enough then, dismiss. It will 
take but a few meetings to insure their promptness. 
Don't expect them to be prompt unless you are. They 
will like this promptness and will desire vigorous drill 
work. 

Be sure all are advised of the times set for rehear- 
sals and when work is to be done in the lodge, endeavor 
to send special word, a half day in advance, to all 
except those on whom you can absolutely depend to 
keep it in mind. 



The Line Up 



Having selected your Guards and assembled at 
drill, line up your men with the Captain on the right. 
Next to him place the tallest man, the second tallest 
next, and so on down the line. 

Some slight departures may have to be made from 
this scheme of graduating the sizes, because of the de- 
sirability of having the best drilled men on the ends of 
the "fours". Explain at the first drill that changes 
will have to be made from time to time. However, 
after they have become partially drilled, make no 
changes unless advisable. It confuses them. 

When lined up, have them number from the right, 
1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8, etc., commencing with the man next 
the Captain, thus : 

Impress upon them that each must remember his 
number. If a mistake occurs in executing the move- 
ments, halt the men as soon as discovered, each to re- 
main exactly in his position. A glance at the diagram 
of the figure being executed will disclose the error and 
the guards may be placed in their proper positions. 

All evolutions, or most all, are shown as starting 
from the Station 2 at end of hall, but often times the 
property room or ante room doors are located at Sta- 
tion 1 end of hall. In that case, it is simply necessary 
for the team to march around the hall until the position 
is reached where the movements are shown in the dia- 
gram to begin, then start as if the entrance were there. 
The movements will then be executed properly as it is 
a matter of courtesy to the presiding officer to have 
all evolutions face him, as far as possible. 



Teams of Two or Three Divisions 



A team of two divisions progresses much faster 
and presents a much more interesting display than one 
of but a single division. Besides it increases the in- 
terest and enthusiasm of the team members because 
of the spirit of friendly rivalry that springs up. The 
writer would, therefore, urge, where it can be done, a 
two-division team, or better, a three-division team, 
bringing into use the three color scheme. There are 
some very beautiful movements outlined in this manual 
for such teams and the boys will take great pride in 
executing them. 

Permit the writer to make to you a personal appeal 
to aim at securing a three-division team. The results 
will more than repay you for your efforts. Even if 
your Order is moderately situated as to hall and size 
of community from which to draw members, you can 
succeed. Your Order need not be large or wealthy. 
The results of your team work will provide both. 

Start with one division, even if small, adding to it 
from time to time. Then add more men and split into 
two divisions, adding later to each. The third division 
will soon be secured in the same way. 

By this time, you will be able to add many beau- 
tiful and complex movements of your own. The scope 
of this manual is too limited to permit much elabora- 
tion of three-division team work. 



-10— 



To Smaller Organizations 



The membership of no Order is so small but that 
some degree of team interest may be aroused. Some 
small teams do excellent work, and to the drill master 
of such Orders the writer wishes to say "Get busy at 
once". If only five good men can be found, organize 
them into a drill squad, making one of them Captain. 
If nothing more than the seating of the Officers is 
accomplished at first, you will soon see the team spirit 
growing and in a little while you will have no trouble 
in securing additions to your staff. 

Even team work that is only fairly good in con- 
ferring the work will insure good attendance at your 
meetings. It is certain to bring with it a good increase 
in membership with its consequent additions to the 
treasury. 

Then the next thing in order will be a new outfit 
of costumes. After you have proven to the members 
that you have a team in reality, you will have no 
trouble in getting what you want with which to do the 
work. 

Having an organized team and being well started 
on the drilling, there is no investment the Order can 
make that will prove as profitable financially, as a 
reasonable expenditure in good paraphernalia with 
which to put on the work. The addition to the treas- 
ury by reason of the increase in membership that is 
sure to follow, will make the oldest watch dog of the 
treasury sit up and take notice.

Seating Officers with Four Guards 



Just as a starter for the organizations that have 
not been giving drill team work attention, I have de- 
signed some movements with which to seat the officers. 
The first thing in team work is the seating of the of- 
ficers, and this will give your boys a chance to demon- 
strate their worth, as a team, to the membership. 

Form in dressing room, or other room as in Fig. 1. 
Enter over dotted line to center line of hall at Officer's 
Station S2, Fig. 2. Here the column turns to the right 
and marches down the center of room toward SI 
Station, preserving the same formation. 

When, in this march down the center of the room, 
the Officers of S3 and S4 Stations are opposite their 
places, they together with the S2 and S5 Officers halt, 
the guards and SI and S6 Officers continuing down the 
room to SI Station. 

On arriving at this station, the Captain and guards 
side step one pace to open order (Captain and Guards 

2 and 4 taking one pace to their left, the Guards 1 and 

3 one pace to their right). Captain and guards face 
in and present swords (or spears). SI and S6 Officers 
pass through and take their respective seats, as shown 
by dotted lines. See Fig. 3. 

Captain leads the guards over the route of dottted 
line and down the side of hall to a point just beyond 
where the Officers S2 and S5 are still standing in center 
of room. Here the Captain and guards turn left, as in 
Fig. 4, Plate 2.

This diagram commences where that in Plate 1 
ended, at Fig. 4. The Captain and guards continue 
to center line of hall and here the column turns right 
toward S2 Station as shown by dotted lines. 

The S2 and S5 Officers about face (until now they 
have been facing the SI Station) fall in behind the 
guards, marching just behind them to S2 Station. 
Here the Captain and guards again side step, face in 
and present swords (or spears) just as they did at the 
SI Station. The S2 and S5 Officers pass through and 
take their seats. See Fig. 5. 

Guards close order, and led by Captain, march 
over route of dotted lines to S4 Station. Here they 
turn right, to and past center of hall, toward S3 Sta- 
tion. The S3 and S4 Officers are still standing in their 
original places in center of hall, and each line of guards 
passes on each side of these officers, as shown. 

As soon as the guards pass, the S3 Officer falls 
in behind and follows over to his station. Captain and 
guards here repeat the open order movement and the 
S3 Officer takes his seat, as in Fig. 6.

As soon as the S3 Officer has been seated, the 
Captain passes through the open order line of guards, 
as shown, and leads them back to the center of hall, 
the lines of guards passing on either side of S4 Officer. 

The S4 Officer falls in behind and all march over 
to S4 Station. Here the open order movement is again 
executed and the officer passes through and takes his 
seat. See Fig. 7. This open order movement is made 
the same as at the SI Station — by the guards side 
stepping, facing in and presenting arms. 

The guards close order, and led by the Captain, 
retire to the property room over route of dotted lines. 
See Fig. 8. 

If more officers are located at station than are used 
in these movements, they may be added, putting them 
with the officer with whom he is associated. 

If desired, all officers may remain standing and 
after the movements are completed then all can be 
seated at once.

Seating Officers with Eight Guards 



Form in outer room in same order as shown in 
Fig. 1, Plate 4. That is, Captain, then Guards 1 and 2 
next, SI and S6 Officers next, Guards 3 and 4 next, S3 
and S4 Officers next, Guards 5 and 6 next, S2 and S5 
Officers next, with Guards 7 and 8 in rear. 

On entering the hall, the head of column turns left 
as soon as it has entered far enough to clear S2 Station, 
crosses over the center line of hall, directly in front of 
S2 Station. It then turns right and marches down 
center line of hall until S3 and S4 Officers are opposite 
their stations, when the entire column halts. This 
brings them into position shown in Fig. 1 

Captain, Guards 1 and 2, SI and S6 Officers hold 
their positions. Guards 3 and 5, also 3S Officer, make 
a "right face" facing S3 Station. Guards 4 and 6, also 
S4 Officer "left face" facing S4 Station. Guards 7 and 
8, also S2 and S5 Officers make an "about face" facing 
S2 Station. 

These "facings" are made when column is at a 
halt. They should be made at a signal so all will turn 
at the same instant. This brings all guards and their 
respective officers facing the stations to which they are 
about to be conducted. 

Then, at signal, all march to their respective 
stations with the officers in rear, as shown in the dia- 
gram, Fig. 2, Plate 4. 

On arriving at stations, all guards side step to 
open order, face inward and present arms, the officers 
passing through and taking their seats.

After officers have been seated, Guards 2, 6, 7 and 
3, make a right face, (turn the body on the right heel 
one-quarter turn to right), and advance two paces, halt 
and again right face. At the same time, Guards 1, 4, 
8 and 5 march straight ahead to the positions just 
vacated by their associate guards, and halt. It should 
be so timed that they come to a halt at the same time 
that their associates make a second right face move- 
ment. The guards of each pair or rank will be facing 
the same direction (which will be the direction in 
which they will next advance) and be in open order. 

The Captain marches between Guards 1 and 2 who 
fall in behind him, see Fig. 3, and they advance to S4 
station along the route shown in diagram. Captain 
marches between Guards 4 and 6 Guards 1 and 2 fall 
in behind 4 and 6 and all proceed to S2 station as in- 
dicated, and do likewise, then to S3 station as in Fig. 6. 

At this point, Captain turns to the left and Guards 
5 and 3, by a left flank movement file across the room, 
Guards 8 and 7 continue their forward march until 
they arrive at the place where 5 and 3 turned when 
they, by a similar left flank, turn in the same way. 
Similarly, Guards 4 and 6, and 1 and 2 turn by left 
flank movement, on the same ground where the first 
and second two turned, thus bringing all the guards in 
single file, marching across the hall, as in diagram, 
Fig. 7. 

When the center of the column (or line) reaches 
the center of the hall, all halt, face right (toward SI 
station) and present arms to SI Officer, then come to a 
''carry arms" Fig. 7.

S3 Officer and S4 Officer are opposite their stations, as 
in Fig. 2, when the column halts. Captain about faces 
and presents sword, as a cue for Guards 5 and 7 to 
right face, at the same time Guards 6 and 8 left face, 
Guards 9 and 11 make a circular movement to the 
right, marching abreast with Guard 11 as a movable 
pivot, while Guards 10 and 12 execute a similar left 
circular movement, bringing these four guards into 
twos in the rear of S2 and S5 Officers, who, however, 
have about faced, they and these four guards now 
facing S2 Station. These guard movements are all 
executed at the same time. 

Captain about faces and with his 4 guards, SI and 
S6 Officers proceed to SI Station, Guards 5 and 7 with 
S3 Officer, Guards 6 and 8 with S4 Officer, and 9, 10,

Seating Officers with Sixteen Guards 



Two Divisions 

Form in property room or anteroom, or rooms 
opposite ends of hall if so arranged. Both divisions 
may be formed and leave from same end of hall if de- 
sired. In that case, one division must start ahead of 
the other, marching partly around the room before the 
second one leaves. The march will then be continued 
until the divisions are at their respective ends of hall, 
as indicated in Figs. 1, Plate 11. 

Then down on each side of center line of room 
until S3 and S4 Officers are opposite their stations, 
where both columns halt. Keep the divisions as close 
as possible, so each may be as nearly opposite the 
stations at the ends of the room as possible. 

Captains and Guards 1, 2, 3, 4 of both divisions, 
with S2 and S5 Officers of one division, and SI and S6 
Officers of the other, hold positions. 

Guards 5, 6, 7, 8 of each division, escorting the 
S3 in one, and S4 Officer in other, together with those 
officers, right face, facing their respective stations. 
See Figs. 2. 

All four sections then march to the stations of the 
officers being escorted. Captains and guards side step, 
face inward and present arms as officers pass through 
and take their seats. See Fig. 3.

PLATE 12 



Seating Officers with Twenty-Four Guards 



Form in three divisions as shown in Figs. 1 If 
not practical to form in separate rooms, all may form 
in and leave from one. In that case, the divisions must 
be sent out separately, marching to their respective 
starting points, so that the regular evolutions may be 
commenced by all three at the same time and from 
their respective positions as shown in diagram. 

Enter as per dotted lines to center until Captains 
are close together, officers in rear, all halt. See Fig. 2. 
Captains present swords as signal for wheel move- 
ments by guards as shown by circular lines in Fig. 2. 

In this wheel movement, Guards 1, 3, 5, 7 in each 
division right face. With Guard 7 as a fixed pivot, 
the fours make a "4's right about" (A right wheel half 
way around) as shown by circular dotted line, then 
halt. At the same time and in same way, Guards 2, 4, 
6, 8, left about with Guard 8 as pivot, and halt. All 
guards come to a halt at the same time, then right and 
left face, facing stations of officers they are conducting. 

While wheel is being made, officers "about face" 
facing their stations, while Captains march between 
lines of guards, arriving at their head at time they 
right and left, forming columns of twos. Each divis- 
ion, with its officers, then marches to its stations. 

NOTE 

If you have an Officer for S4 Station, he can be 
brought in with S3 Officer, and column seating these 
officers may reverse and go to S4 Station first and de- 
liver that Officer, then return to S3 Station and proceed 
as above directed, to seat that Officer.

Eight Guards, Division No. 1 Movements 



On the following pages are given three separate 
SERIES of movements for eight guards. The first, on 
plates 16 to 22 inclusive, are designated as Division 
No. 1 Guards. Any color uniforms may be used for 
them. 

Captain comes to center of hall over route of black 
line, salutes SI Station Officer and about faces to 
guards. 

Fig. 1 shows guards in formation for entering, 
Captain presents sword to them as signal to proceed. 

They come to Captain over route of dotted lines, 
each turning alternately right and left, forming as in 
Fig. 2. 

Guards 1, 3, 5, 7, left face, 2, 4, 6, 8 right face, and 
Captain about faces, all present swords (or spears) to 
Officer of Station 1. 

Then right and left face and march to each side of 
hall. At side of hall, Guards 1 and 2 turn right, 3 and 
4 turn left, 5 and 6 right and 7 and 8 left, all marching 
single file to corners of hall as in Figs. 3, Plate 17.

Division No. 1 Movements- 
Continued 



Guards continue to corners of room, as in Figs. 3, 
then diagonally to Captain at center, forming an "X" 
as in Fig. 4. 

All guards left face. Then all guards with CAP- 
TAIN AS A PIVOT, makes a RIGHT wheel around 
Captain. (This is shown in diagram by SHORT darts, 
drawn in SOLID lines, and not by the circular dotted 
darts. The latter serve another purpose, as you will 
see below). The guards make two complete revolutions 
around Captain, all the time preserving the original 
formation of an "X". 

When they have wheeled twice around Captain, all 
momentarily halt and each PAIR makes a LEFT wheel, 
as indicated by the CIRCULAR DOTTED LINE 
DARTS. That is, No. 5 is pivot and No. 1 marches 
around him, 4 acts as pivot for 8, who marches around 
him, and similarly 6 and 7 are pivots for 2 and 3. 

When the four pairs have made one complete 
wheel each, all again halt in the "X" formation, as in 
Fig. 4. 

Then make one more RIGHT wheel with Captain 
as pivot, same as first movement given above and in- 
dicated by the solid black short darts — the "X" for- 
mation. Let this wheel be nearly two revolutions, 
stopping with Guards 4, 8, 3, 7 on center line of hall, as 
in Fig. 5, Plate 18.

Arriving at center, the two lines halt, fours apart. 
Guards 1 and 8 make a "twos right" which means they 
make a wheel one quarter of a revolution to the right, 
with 1 as pivot, 8 marching on route of dotted circular 
arrow, 1 turning with him. At same time, 2 and 3 
also "twos right" while 4 and 5, and 6 and 7, "twos 
left." 

This brings them into fours, 2, 3, 7, 6, facing 
Station 3; 5, 4, 8, 1 facing Station 4. March in fours 
to each side of room as shown by dotted lines. 

On arriving at sides of room, as in Figs. 10, Guards

Captain advances to meet the approaching guards, 
timing his advance so that he joins them just as the 
two lines are in a position to form the two sides of a 
triangle, of which he is the apex or point, as in Figs. 11. 

Captain about faces and guards march to front, all 
marching down center line of hall until they are some 
distance beyond the center when all halt. 

Then, still preserving the same formation, Cap- 
tain and guards backward march, as in Fig. 12, all the 
time facing Station No. 1 to Station 2 end of hall. As 
they approach this end of hall, they open order or 
separate enough to allow them to form in a straight 
line (see Fig. 13, Plate 21) when all halt. 

This movement may seem difficult to execute, but 
a little practice will enable you to do it successfully.

While guards are executing the last movement in

of hall to or a little beyond center. 

Guards form in behind him, in twos, as in Fig. 17. 
They retire in this formation. 

NOTE — As stated in the early pages of this book, 
guards must remember their own numbers. Their 
numbers should not be changed unless very advisable, 
on account of the confusion it causes. 

The drill master should also memorize these 
numbers as it will greatly facilitate his drill work. 
Then when guards get into wrong positions he can 
straighten them out with a glance at the diagram.

both sections may enter from same room, as has been 
explained on preceding pages. In that event, one sec- 
tion enters before the other, taking a position such as 
will enable both to begin the movements at same time. 

Captain enters over route of solid black line to 
center of hall, salutes the Station 1 Officer, about faces 
and presents sword to guards as a signal for them to 
proceed. 

Guards enter over routes of dotted lines, single 
file, to Captain and halt. Guards 1, 3, 5, 7 right face

pace, followed by 2 and 8 one pace behind. They are 
followed by 6 and 4 one pace behind 2 and 8. Similar- 
ly, 3 and 5, and 7 and 1, follow, forming "V". In this 
formation, all march to Station 1 end of hall. Here 
Captain halts and guards halt in line as they reach it 
as in Fig. 20. You may prefer that guards be two 
paces apart in "V" formation. 

From position shown in Fig. 20, guards right and 
left face, march to corners as indicated, where they 
turn toward center and continue as in next diagram.

Eight Guards, Division No. 3 Movements 



Captain enters alone, proceeds to center of hall 
and salutes Station 1 Officer, about faces and presents 
sword to guards as a signal for them to advance. 

Guards enter in single file and take position shown 
in Fig. 2, halt, and left face to Captain who presents 
sword as a signal for them to advance. 

They come down in line and halt within two paces 
of Captain. Guards 2, 4, 6, 8 advance one pace as in 
Fig. 3. All present arms to Station 1 Officer. Guards 
1, 3, 5, 7 step into line with 2, 4, 6, 8. This brings 
them again into a line of eight abreast, with Captain 
one pace in advance. (On account of showing the 
next movement, it is necessary to show this new for- 
mation in diagram, which is done in Fig 4, though it 
ought to show the line as being formed on position 
occupied by 2, 4, 6, 8, but obviously it can't be drawn 
in diagram in that way). 

As soon as Guards 1, 3, 5, 7 have stepped into line, 
all execute a "twos left", which is executed by 8, 6, 4, 2 
acting as pivots and 7, 5, 3, 1 making a quarter turn to 
left around them, bringing the guards in columns of 
twos, facing Station 4 side of hall. 

Captain now advances to position shown in Fig. 5. 
Guards advance in twos as shown by dotted lines. As 
soon as they reach Captain they begin a right wheel- 
ing movement around Captain as pivot, forming in 
figure of an "X" as in Fig. 6, Plate 33.

To be effective, these movements should be con- 
ducted in three colors. 

If hall permits, the divisions form in separate 
rooms, though, as has been explained several times in 
the preceding pages, all may form and enter from the 
same room. 

All proceed over route of dotted lines to center, 
forming at center as in Fig. 2. 

With a point between the three Captains as a 
pivot, make a left wheel of two complete revolutions, 
as indicated by darts, Captains keeping in advance of 
the center of their respective fours.

Then make a fours left. This is done by Guard 
No. 1 in each four acting as a pivot while each four 
makes a left wheel of one-quarter of a revolution. 
The Captains maintain their positions in front of the 
center of their four. This brings them into a straight

When the line is formed, they march down the 
hall. Division No. 1 halts about three paces beyond 
the center. Division No. 2 at center, and Division No. 
3 three paces short of Division No. 2, as in Fig. 6. 

Guards 1 and 2 of Division No. 1, 3 and 4 of Div- 
ision No. 2, and 1 and 2 of Division No. 3 about face. 

All three divisions then wheel, each with its Cap- 
tain as its pivot, as indicated by darts, shown in Fig. 6. 
Keep up the wheel movement for two revolutions. 

Then, when in position shown in Fig. 6, Guards 
1 and 2 of Division No. 1 move over and join Division 
No. 2 with Guard 1, of Division No. 1 next the Division 
No. 2 Captain. Also 4 and 3 of Division No. 3 join 
Division No. 2, 4 being next the Division No. 2 Captain. 
During this time the wheeling movement of all three 
divisions are continuing. 

When the other Division No. 1 and Division No. 3 
guards come around into position, the Division No. 2 
guards are joined by 3 and 4 of Division No. 1, and 1 
and 2 of Division No. 3, 4 of Division No. 1 and 1 of 
Division No. 3 being next to Division No. 2 Captain. 
This brings them into position shown in Fig. 7. It 
forms a six-point star and proper color formation. 

It may appear difficult to effect this movement, 
but if you will study the plate carefully beforehand 
and get your men on the floor, you can readily work it 
out. 

m 

Fig. 7 including the positions of the Captains, 
should appear in plate where the Division No. 2 guards 
are in Fig. 6, but obviously it cannot be drawn in dia- 
gram in that way. 

Make two revolutions after the six-point star has 
been completed, the Captains holding their positions.

When the two revolutions of the six-point star 
have been made, the wheeling motion should be con- 
tinued for the purpose of dissolving the star and form- 
ing as in Fig. 8. 

This will be accomplished by the guards breaking 
away from the star in pairs, in the inverse order of 
the formation of the star, and forming lines as in Fig. 
8. The Division No. 2 Captain will take his position 
as shown. 

When in position shown in Fig. 8, the lines execute 
a "fives left", which means that all three lines of five 
men make left wheels of one-quarter of a revolution, 
as indicated by dotted lines, thus bringing them into 
line. The line will extend across the hall at about its 
center, as in Fig. 9. All about face, facing Station 1

while 3 of Division No. 1 and 4 of Division No. 2 ad- 
vance to position where 1 and 2 turned, when they 
LEFT flank and march single file to corner at B. Next 
5 of Division No. 1 and 6 of Division No. 2 advance to 
where 1 and 2 flanked when they, too, right flank and 
join 1 of Division No. 1 and 2 of Division No. 2 at A. 
Similarly, 7 of Division No. 1 and 8 of Division No. 2 
advance, flank and single file to 3 and 4 at B. 

In the same manner, the guards on the Station 4, 
side of room, advance to corners at C and D. 

This brings them into Figs. 4, from which position 
they single file diagonally, as shown by dotted lines, to 
Captains at center, forming as in Fig. 5. 

All guards left face. With Captain as pivot, the 
"X" shaped figure makes a right wheel of two revolu- 
tions. 

When the two revolutions have been completed, 
the Guards of Division No. 2 reverse their direction, 
continuing the wheel but in the opposite way, while 
Guards of Division No. 1 continue the wheel in the 
original manner as indicated by the darts. The Divis- 
ion No. 1 guards will be executing a right wheel at the 
same time the guards of Division No. 2 are a left one, 
the one being within the other. This movement should 
be continued for two revolutions. 

A reasonable amount of practice will enable you to 
execute it. It looks attractive and the boys will like it. 
You MUST keep the men in proper positions as per dia- 
gram or it will not work out and the color effect will 
be lost. 

When all are again in position shown in Fig. 5, all 
halt. Guards of Division No. 2 about face, and the 
guards continue the right wheel as originally, one- 
eighth of a revolution, which brings them into position 
shown in Fig. 6, Plate 46.

with four guards abreast and two in single file behind 
6 and 7 of Division No. 1 and 5 and 7 of Division No. 2. 
The Captains advance along center line of room, meet 
their guards at the ends, and escort them to center of 
hall. 

When they reach center of hall in the position 
shown in Figs. 15, they march to each side of room in 
twos in the following order on Station 4 side: 8 Guard 
of Division No. 1 and 2 of Division No. 2, 7 of Division 
No. 1 and 7 of Division No. 2, 4 of Division No. 1 and 
6 of Division No. 2, 3 of Division No. 1 and 3 of Divis- 
ion No. 2. The twos are formed in same manner on 
the Station 3 side of hall, with 5 Guard of Division 
No. 1 and 4 of Division No. 2 in advance. 

At sides of room they turn right and left in single 
file, marching along sides to corners and then across 
ends to center line of room as before, the guards of 
Division No. 1 going to Station 1 end of hall, and of 
Division No. 2 to Station 2 end. The Captains in the 
meantime have marched along center line to ends to 
meet the guards as before described. 

Guards form at ends, in front of Station 1 and 
Station 2, in same formation as shown in Figs. 16, 
guards six abreast with one in single file behind each 
of the end men. 

Captains lead them to center of hall as before, and 
they again march to sides in twos and in same forma- 
tion as before. Guards again turn at sides as before, 
march to ends and again form in front of Stations 1 
and 2, this time with eight abreast as in Figs. 17, 
Captains having returned to ends of hall to take their 
positions as shown in Figs. 17. 

Both lines advance, eight abreast, to center of hall. 

These movements are called two, four, six, eight 
movements, because the first time they come down in 
twos, next in fours, etc.

To make these movements more effective, you 
shuld use three colors in the costumes of the men exe- 
cuting them. 

SPECIAL NOTE— Notice the manner in which 
these divisions are lined up, that is, the manner in 
which the numbers are distributed in the formations 
as shown in Figs. 1. Don't fail to get the right num- 
ber of guard in the place as shown in the lineup. This 
is done in order to make the later movements come 
out right. 

If your hall is not arranged so that the divisions 
may come in from three entrances, they may enter 
from two, or even one, as has been explained on pre- 
ceding pages. 

Captains all enter over route of solid lines to cen- 
ter of hall, face Station 1 Officer, present swords, about 
face to guards, present sword as signal for them to 
proceed over route of dotted lines, coming out in lines 
of fours as shown in Figs. 1. 

Come to points indicated by arrow points, and 
form in divisions behind the Captains who have been 
in the same position in center of room, forming in 
platoons in the order of Division Nos. 1, 2 and 3, as in

sections will now face the Stations 1 and 2, end of hall, 
respectively. Captains of Divisions Nos. 1 and 3 now

All guards should come together at Division No. 2 
Captain at the same time. All halt and left face. You 
now have an "X" formation with the three colors al- 
ternating in each line, a direct contrast to that of 
Fig. 3. 

Make a right wheel of two revolutions, with the 
Division No. 2 Captain as pivot. During this wheel 
the Division Nos. 1 and 2 Captains advance toward 
center to points that are just cleared by the guards in 
their wheel. 

When second revolution has been finished, the 
wheeling movement shall be continued, without stop- 
ping, until the line with Guard 1, Division No. 1, on one 
end, is just in contact with the Division No. 1 Captain, 
when this line of 6 men breaks away from Division 
No. 2 Captain and makes a left wheel of one revolution 
around Division No. 1 Captain as a pivot. 

At the same time the other line of 6 men, with 8 
of Division No. 1 on end, has come in contact with 
Division No. 3 Captain, and it, too, breaks away from 
Division No. 2 Captain and makes a left wheel of one 
revolution around Division No. 3 Captain as pivot. 

The original "X" formation is to continue its 
wheel though it now has but half its men and consists 
of a straight line of 12 guards with Division No. 2 Cap- 
tain in center, and in this way makes one complete 
revolution, turning to right as before. See Plate 60. 

By the time this line has made its complete revo- 
lution, the two lines wheeling around Division No. 1 
and Division No. 3 Captains will have exactly com- 
pleted their wheels and all will again be in form of an 
"X". Without stopping, the two lines will at once 
break away from Division No. 1 and Division No. 3 
Captains and continue the wheel in the "X" formation, 
with Division No. 2 Captain as pivot, as originally.

After the first lines have executed their separate 
wheels and reunited with the original "X" formation, 
as detailed in last page, this formation continues its 
original wheel until the other two lines are in contact 
with Division No. 1 and Division No. 3 Captains, when 
they likewise break away from the Division No. 2 Cap- 
tain and execute separate wheels around Division No. 1 
and Division No. 3 Captains, as before described. 

When all have made one revolution, the lines are 
again united in the original "X" formation. 

The wheel then continues until the lines are in 
position shown in Fig. 7, Plate 61. 

These are very showy movements. The boys 
must not expect to execute them perfectly without 
some practice. 

The most difficult movements are the most suc- 
cessful and surest in their execution, as the members 
of the team are always alert and on their guard, and 
that makes them more reliable.

side of room and halts. Likewise the line with Guard 
8, of Division No. 1, on end, moves to other side of

Guards are now in position shown in Figs. 8. All 
left face and both sections march to ends of room, as 
indicated. 

Next, guards move into positions shown in Figs. 9, 
by moving over in threes and commencing to execute 
left wheels as soon as position is attained. 

In this movement those in inside line advance into 
Fig. 9 first. That is, in the one section, 2, 7, 6 are first 
to advance into Fig. 9. Then 4, 5, 4 move into po- 
sitions just vacated by 2, 7, 6 and then take their place 
in the wheel at Fig. 9. Next 8, 4, 6 move into the 
wheel, followed by 7, 2, 8. The guards in the other 
section take their places in their Fig. 9, in same way. 

The wheeling movement is kept up as indicated in 
Figs. 9 all the time the "X" shaped figure is being 
formed. 

The diagram shows a color bearer as pivot at 
center of each. If you want to make a great hit, have 
two color bearers, one with the American flag and the 
other with a flag with the emblem of your Order, ap- 
pear and take their places, the guards forming around 
them as in Figs. 9, they acting as pivots. If you do 
not want to use the color bearers, the Captains of 
Division Nos. 1 and 3 can be used instead. 

Continue the wheel for two complete revolutions. 
Then, as the wheeling movement is being continued, 
Guards 2, 7, 2 of one figure and 5, 3, 5 of the other leave 
their respective figures and exchange places, as shown 
by dotted lines, the figures all the while keeping up 
their wheeling movements.

to take their new places. They will take the positions 
vacated by the three that just left, and continue the 
wheel. 

As soon as these guards are in position, the next 
three from each formation will exchange places in the 
same manner. This will be kept up until all the guards 
have exchanged positions. During all this time both 
formations or sections will keep up the wheeling 
movements. 

The two formations must be just the right dis- 
tanc apart so that the guards coming into the new 
positions will reach their places at the right time. 
This will have to be determined by trials on the floor. 

Guards must be carefully drilled in the matter of 
maintaining the exact length of step at all times. 
This is necessary to good execution of floor movements, 
but it is absolutely so, in movements of this character.

As soon as the exchange of guards has been made, 
as provided for in the last two plates, and when the 
guards are at positions shown in Fig. 11, two sets of 
three guards each, from each section or formation, 
march straight forward to sides of room, as shown by 
dotted lines. The wheeling movement continues until 
the other guards have made a quarter of a revolution 
when the remaining guards march to sides of room 
in the same way. 

The first three from each section to arrive at sides 
of room move along the sides as indicated by dotted 
lines, the next three coming into position behind them, 
forming a line of six. 

The guards will now be in lines of six, two lines 
on each side of room and near the corners. All guards 
on Station 4, side of room, will now face that station, 
and at the same time those on other side will face 
Station 3. 

The Captains of Divisions Nos. 1 and 3 will join 
Division No. 2 Captain at center as soon as guards 
move to sides of room.

To form the triangle, as in Fig. 14, the guards 
advance to center line of room in single file, the 
column (or line) on the Station 4 side being headed by 
Guard 8 of Division No. 1, that on Station 3 side by 3 of 
Division No. 3. 

They meet on center line at the points shown by 
the two arrow heads. They turn here, as indicated 
by these arrow heads, and counter march along the 
base line of triangle. 

The columns (or lines) turn at the angles of the 
triangle (occupied by Guard 5 of Division No. 3 and 4 
of Division No. 1 in Fig. 14) and march along the sides 
of the triangle to Captains and halt. This forms the 
triangle. 

Guards and Captains face Station 1 Officer and 
salute. 

They now retire over routes of dotted lines, in 
threes, as in Fig. 15. Be careful that the color for- 
mation is same as in diagram. 

Or you may, instead of retiring, form a stage set- 
ting if you have a stage large enough to accomodate 
the number of men in the team. 

Any team that will devote the time necessary to 
execute these movements in the tri-color scheme as 
outlined, will be greatly repaid for the efforts put forth, 
and prove a very profitable investment for the organi- 
zation.

Division are specially designed for PATROLS, ZOU- 
AVES, Etc., and may be in a quick step manner if 
desired. 

SIXTEEN MEN MOVEMENTS— SET No. 1 

Form in two rooms as shown in Figs. 1, or you 
may form in same room and enter by twos instead of 
single file as would be the case if you were to form in 
separate rooms. 

Captain enters over route of solid black line to 
center of hall, about faces to his men and presents 
sword as a cue to enter. They come over route of 
dotted lines to point in front of Station 2, then right 
and left face and proceed to Captain. When the Cap- 
tain is reached, numbers 1 and 2 will again right and 
left followed by the other men in single file, and form 
a straight line as shown in Fig. 3, then all right and 
left face to Station 1 Officer, present arms and imme- 
diately come to carry arms again. 

All even numbered men will left face to Station 4, 
side of room, and all odd numbered men will right face 
to Station 3, side of room, and proceed single file to 
these stations, 2 will turn left, 4 right, and all in this 
line will alternately single file to each corner of hall. 
At the same time, 1 will turn right, 3 left, and alter- 
nate the same as the other line on opposite side of

When this original position has been attained, the 
star halts. Men numbered 12, 4, 11, 3, — 9, 1, 10, and 

2, about face and march in opposite direction, all the 
time the other men are continuing their wheeling 
movement. When twice around and your original 
place is assumed, then again about face. This will 
bring you into the original formation. Then proceed 
with another revolution in the solid formation until 
position is attained as in Fig. 18. 

Here the formation halts, 2, 6, 10 and 14 about 
face; 1, 5, 9 and 13 left face; 4, 8, 12 and 16 right face; 

3, 7, 11 and 15 hold position. This will bring all men 
facing the corner where the next movement is to be 
executed as shown in Fig. 19. 

In this formation, all march to corner of room, 
keeping the figure perfect. When the position as 
shown in Fig. 19 is assumed, the figure again is made 
a regular "X" movement. All men face direction as 
shown by solid darts and make one complete revolution 
in direction as indicated by these darts.

At the completion of the revolution, men 13, 9, 5

room to center line of hail. They in turn are followed 
by the other men in the same manner, all breaking 
away in fours, as shown in Fig. 20. 

The Captain breaks away after the second set of 
fours have left him, and he falls in their rear, this 
brings him in the position shown in Fig. 21. 

When the center line of hall is reached, the men 
single file across room and line up in one straight line 

as shown in Fig. 21. 

Commencing with 2, 6, 10, 14, C, 4, 8, 12 and 16,

left face. In the meantime, the Captain has advanced 
to a position shown in Fig. 21. The above numbered 
men angle down in single file to Captain, as indicated

This movement makes a complete triangle. As 
soon as the figure is completed all men face Station 1, 
and the men inarch in this formation to the Station 1, 
end of hall, as indicated by dotted lines. This move- 
ment should be conducted as nearly perfect as possible, 
that is, by the men watching their places in line and 
keeping the same and proper distance apart. 

Coming to Station 1, end of hall, the triangle dis- 
solves itself into a solid straight line as shown in Fig.

Captain holding his position directly in front of Sta- 
tion 1.

Captain now advances to center of room and the 
men single file from the corners as was shown in 
Fig. 23. 

The movement now about to be executed is called 
a double crossover movement, and is made as shown 
by dotted lines. One line of men advancing to point 
"A" and the other at point "B". This will cause one 
crossover. At these two points the men again angle 
at the rear of Captain, coming back on the side of the 
room which they held at the other end of hall. This 
will cause another crossover as the dotted lines indi- 
cate. 

This is a very pretty movement and is easily exe- 
cuted with a little practice. 

The line headed by 13, advances to about ten feet 
from Station 2, and the line headed by 3, advances to a 
point about two feet in rear of the other line, as shown 
in Fig. 25. This, by a right and left face, will bring 
them into the position as shown in Fig. 26, Plate 78.

Captain takes his position in lead of the two lines 
as shown in Fig. 26, then proceed to march in this for- 
mation down center of hall. When about one-third the 
way down the room, Captain about faces and presents 
sword as signal for 2, 6, 10 and 14 to make a circular 
counter-marching movement to left as indicated in 
Fig. 27, while 1, 5, 9 and 13 execute a similar move- 
ment to right. These eight men form in line of eight 
behind 3, 7, 11, 15, 16, 12, 8 and 4 and follow them in 
this manner. This makes an open order movement 
and when these men are counter-marching to rear, the 
other line comes through and takes position in lead. 

When two-thirds the way down the room, Captain 
again about faces, presents sword, and 15, 11, 7 and 3, 
and 16, 12, 8 and 4 execute a similar circular counter- 
marching movement, as shown in Fig. 28. 

This brings them into position shown in Fig. 29 
in which formation they march to Station 1, end of 
hall. Here 3, 7, 11, 15, 16, 12, 8 and 4 left flank and 
march to side of room, in single file, then turn left up 
side of room, while 13, 9, 5, 1, 2, 6, 10, 14 by a right

hall and about faces, presents sword as signal for men 
to proceed, they then march over in lines of eight 
abreast as in Fig. 30 to the point indicated in Figs. 31. 

Be sure to keep these lines at least two paces 
apart as in Figs. 31, so that 7 and 9 can swing into line 
with 3 and 13, — 15 and 1 into line with 5 and 11, — 
12 and 6 into line with 2 and 16, and 4 and 14 into line 
with 8 and 10.

When the line of 16 is completed, all right and left 
to Captain, who with the men advances to one-third 
way across hall, then halt as in Fig. 10. 

The eight men beginning with 13 at left, and 1 
at right, right and left to each other, then take one 
pace right and left, and march over route of dotted 
lines forming two lines of eight each, as shown in 
Fig. 11. March two-thirds way up hall in this forma- 
tion, when they again halt. The men numbered 3, 5, 7 
and 9, and 4, 6, 8 and 10, right and left face to center, 
then side step one pace right and left, and the two re- 
maining lines of four, marches right and left, lining up 
behind the other 4, 6, 8 and 10 men. 

This will bring them into the formation as shown 
in Fig. 12. Then march up to Station 2, end of hall, 
and halt. 

Then the formation splits up into two divisions 
and march to sides of room and form lines of eight as

At corners of room the four lines proceed single 
file over route of dotted lines to Captain and form "X" 
figure as shown in Fig. 19. 

In this formation, they make two complete revolu- 
tions in the direction indicated by solid darts. When 
the two revolutions are completed, the movement will 
halt square with the hall as in Fig. 20, Plate 88.

As soon as the halt is made, the two lines of four 
men 7, 15, 14 and 5 on one side, and 12, 10, 4 and 1 on 
other, will swing out from center of figure, number 5 
and 1 acting as the pivots for the two lines. As soon 
as they start to swing out, the figure will start to re- 
volve again, and by the time the straight line has made 
one revolution the two lines still in motion will have 
come back and connected in their former places. When 
this is done the other two lines will swing out, and the 
figure will again revolve until the complete revolution 
is made, and the two lines have made their execution 
of the outward swing. 

This will bring the "X" back into the original 
formation.

This formation will continue to revolve until one 
complete revolution is made. Then as the figure is 
square with the hall, men numbered 6, 11, 14, 7, 13, 9, 
4, and 12 will reverse and go in opposite direction to the 
other men. This is indicated by the solid darts in 
Fig. 21. 

Make two revolutions in this manner, and when 
above numbered Guards reach their regular place, 
they about face and the figure will make one more 
revolution in its original formation. 

Do not lose sight of the fact that this is a very 
beautiful movement and is well worth the time neces- 
sary to execute it properly.

On the Station 4, side of room, the men numbered 
12, 10, 4, 1 march down single file to Station 1, end of 
hall, then over as in Fig. 24. Men numbered 9, 16, 13, 
3 do likewise only they stay the straight way of the 
hall as shown in Fig. 24. 

The men numbered 11, 8, 6, 2 on opposite side of 
room come down in single file but they make their line 
straight with the hall as shown in Fig. 25. Then the 
remaining line 7, 15, 14, 5 come down Station 3, side of 
hall, four abreast, and form the base line as shown in 
Fig. 25. 

Then all men right and left face to Captain, and 
proceed over to center of hall and form a solid square 
as shown in Fig. 26. The figure, in this entire forma- 
tion, after the men have faced the center of hall, 
marches the full length of the room to Station 2 end. 

This is a nice movement and should be executed 
in an accurate manner. 

At Station 2, the men break away as shown in 
Fig. 27, 9, 16, 13, 3 go over in line of four to Station 4, 
side of room, followed by 1, 4, 10, 12, and line up as 
shown in Figs. 28, Plate 92.— 11, 8, 6, 2 go to Station 3, 
side of hall, followed by 7, 15, 14, 5, and line up as
